Going to use Mission of Joy who hopefully gets a better trip than she did last time in the Just a Game (solid gallop out past the wire). Should appreciate the extra eight and has a decent pattern going in.
Good Luck,
Joe B.
I agree that she is a definite use at what should be a good price. Another one that may be under the radar from the same race is Coppice. She hit the gate at the start which cost her a few lengths. She was covered up through the turn and appeared loaded at the top of the lane but Frankie could not find a seam and she was buried to the wire. Her TG# number 2 races back certainly fits here.
This looks to be a rider\'s race in large part. The chadster herd ends up with the two top jockeys on #6 Whitebeam and #10 Chili Flag. I was hoping one or the other would be overlaid but based on the m/l neither will be overlaid.
I also like Motion\'s horse Mission of Joy especially at anything near the m/l of 10/1. I suppose #1 Moira is a square price @ m/l 5/1 and may float up as the gaggle of Chad Brown-trained entries attracts bets.
Grinder thanks for the note on Coppin. She\'s another I will use if her 8/1 morning line holds up and I expect it will.
It\'s a tough puzzle as of 2:00 p.m. I\'m favoring Flavien Prat and Irad Ortiz. I\'ll sprinkle the overlays under those and bet the two mentioned previously to win.
I went with Whitebeam, who\'s best 2 #s were at Saratoga. I have the DD going with her, Moira & Chili Flag. In the Sanford, I went with the 2 fastest colts Baby Dukes & Studlydoright.
Does anyone know which way Irad turned? Seems like he and the others did get outridden today. Knowing you have the fastest horse helps, in deciding, to use the strategy Flavien used. Happy to have gotten an exacta today, even if it took too many tickets.
I watched the replay, Irad dawdled the first half of the race in last place. Then accelerated in an attempt to slingshot off the second turn, proceeded to lose at least 6 lengths of ground, and patiently waited for another day finishing last I think
The general public will dismiss the horses who never had a chance to do any running. Coppice and Mission of Joy are examples.
Sometimes solid opportunities arise in this game off of losing plays. We\'ll see.
Good Luck,
Joe B.

Good Point, I have added both to my \"horses to watch\" list. My last addition B G Lee scored yesterday. I haven\'t learned how to add a trainer yet. So I\'ll have to remember Cherie DeVaux on my own.
